No dude. Don't hit that pipe.

And since there are plenty of cheap/free alternatives, I am assuming you want to use it for novelty purposes: "hey, you know where i got that pipe you're hitting there...?", but it's not worth it.

Man, that shits wood. It's not like metal or glass where you can clean everything off the surface and it's ok. Wood is permeable- who knows wtf has soaked into that shit.
